    Description:


    This update for OpenJDK 10.0.2 fixes the following security issues:

    - CVE-2018-2940: the libraries sub-component contained an easily
    exploitable vulnerability that allowed attackers to compromise Java SE
    or Java SE Embedded over the network, potentially gaining unauthorized
    read access to data that's accessible to the server. [bsc#1101645]

    - CVE-2018-2952: the concurrency sub-component contained a difficult to
    exploit vulnerability that allowed attackers to compromise Java SE, Java
    SE Embedded,
    or JRockit over the network. This issue could have been abused to mount
    a partial denial-of-service attack on the server. [bsc#1101651]

    - CVE-2018-2972: the security sub-component contained a difficult to
    exploit vulnerability that allowed attackers to compromise Java SE over
    the network, potentially gaining unauthorized access to critical data or
    complete access to all Java SE accessible data. [bsc#1101655)

    - CVE-2018-2973: the JSSE sub-component contained a difficult to exploit
    vulnerability allowed attackers to compromise Java SE or Java SE Embedded
    over the network, potentially gaining the ability to create, delete or
    modify critical data or all Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data
    without authorization. [bsc#1101656]

    Furthemore, the following bugs were fixed:

    - Properly remove the existing alternative for java before reinstalling
